https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats&months=48 The monthly stats don’t look too bad to me. The yearly stats are meaningless.

I’m not sure if the centralization is worse than the large portion of users on the large servers who joining copies of established communities on their own instances. Also, from my other reply:

It would force you to write a more descriptive name. Maybe we want to hide by community title and not the handle though.

Say you want to have a community for memes. It is terrible UX if you just see seven different “memes@domainname.ending” in the result. So with an opinionated search, you instead name your community Sopuli Memes, Solarpunk Memes, Programming Memes etc., or just Funny Memes Archive, and they would not be hidden.

IMO, a more opionate search would fix this. Just recommend the most active community and show the others in gray.

There’s a million easier ways to claim the German unemployment money than that

A Git history would be quite an easy way to show that you are doing something regularly.

I just keep checking if it’s done every 1-2 minutes by tasting it

I only work once, then copy that work everywhere.

Good that works for you. If only my needs were so simple that the configs could be same on each machine.

So you’re willing to do a lot of manual package managing, in general put a lot of work into optimizing your workflow, adjusting to different package availability, adjusting to different operating systems…

…but not writing two different configs?

That is your prerogative but you’re not convincing me. Though I don’t think I’ll be convincing you either.

I have separate configs/aliases/etc for most of my machines just because, well, they are different machines with different hardware, software, data, operating systems and purposes. Even for those (most) that I can easily install fish on.

those scripts not always work

This feels like ragebait. I have multiple devices, use fish whenever that can be installed and zsh/bash when not, and have none of these issues.

EDIT:

or some methods to jump to most recent directory like z.

Manually downloading the same shell scripts on every machine is just doing what the package manager is supposed to do for you. I did this once to get some rust utils like eza to get them to work without sudo. It’s terrible.

I mean if all your scripts are fully general purpose. That just seems really weird to me. I don’t need to run my yt-dlp scripts on the computational clusters I work on.

Moreover, none of this applies to the interactive use of the shell.

at least not on all the machines that I have to use

Ok?

What does that have to do with anything?

Always confuses me when people say this. You can use multiple different shells / scripting languages, just as you can use multiple programming languages.

Why would I want two different things in one?

The use of LLM had a measurable impact on participants, and while the benefits were initially apparent, as we demonstrated over the course of 4 months, the LLM group’s participants performed worse than their counterparts in the Brain-only group at all levels: neural, linguistic, scoring.

Not really surprised, everything just keeps getting less and less repairable over time, regardless what it is

For small-scale stuff like that it will surely work. It’s unclear if it scales to youtube volumes. Maybe it doesn’t have to though, small scale stuff is valuable too.

Hosting video requires a lot more resources than hosting text, hyperlinks, or even pictures. It might be too much for individuals to self host video on a scale that could even distantly resemble how we use youtube today.

Then again, maybe there are ways to make that burden smaller. IIRC Peertube does do some p2p stuff to try and share the burden a bit but I’ve also heard that it’s not really feasible to rely on that to scale.
